Jai Ho was the only two words repeated as a chant by the large crowd gathered at early hours today at Anna International Terminal in Chennai. It needs no introduction that AR Rahman, the proud winner of two Oscars is the one we are talking about.
Giving the real value to the maestro, Tamil Nadu government deputed the State Information Minister, Paruthi Ilamvazhuthi, to lead a delegation from the State Government’s protocol department to welcome AR Rahman in such a manner that is normally given to only the heads of states.
Sivamani, the ace drummer and his troupe did steal the scene with enough of their music and dances.
Rahman was so over-whelmed and shared with the media, “As I collected my 2nd Oscar I thought of giving a message that it is to choose love over hate, whether in music or the philosophy of life. All the personalities in Hollywood including Michael Jackson liked my statement. I feel it’s infact starting point of my career rather than feeling in the highest point. I hope my winning these awards inspires many as well.
Known for leaving no stones unturned in eulogizing such personalities, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has decided to falicitate AR Rahman on March 1st.
